Pray for the Laborers
“But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.” - Matthew 9:36
The heart of God is for salvation. He gave His best to redeem as many as He can. If we truly love Him and are filled and led by His spirit, then our heart will be to see as many saved and come to worship Him as possible.
So today we need to do some heart checking. How often do you pray for ministers, pastors, leaders, shepherds, and other Christian’s? How often do you war and intercede to them? How often do you scrutinize, criticize, and dissect their failures as they try their best while fighting all of hell and their fellow believers; instead of interceding to help them do better?
I’m not saying to give wolves in sheep’s clothing a free pass. I’m saying that the heart of God is to help everyone make it, not just us. If you see everything wrong with everyone else, and feel like you have it right, then you are not being lead by the Holy Spirit, you are being lead by pride. If you are heartbroken at the thought of anyone missing their God given purpose and are willing to pray and fast forward them, that is the work of the Holy Spirit. Yes He will give you words of correction, but only to those who have wept for their salvation. Not to those who desire to replace them or cast them out of the kingdom.
Your job is to fight for them in the spirit. Not to seek to be the celebrity of Christianity, but to serve the body. To know that the job is far bigger than you alone can handle or even imagine. To pray for God to raise up, empower, equip, and sustain more laborers that are greater than you or anything you can comprehend or imagine. The harvest is great, do your part, do your best, pray for God to raise up what’s needed to do the rest, and intercede for them until they accomplish it.
There are no one-man shows, in the Kingdom of God. We are all part of something bigger, learn to work together. Be selfless, be kind, be humble, help God by helping His people and seek to save as many as possible. Stop trying to build your own Kingdom, and platforms, and relevance. Time is running out, we need to tend to the harvest, and we need more laborers to do it, not less. So before you rebuke, discourage, tear down, or run off an other laborer, try fasting, praying, teaching, inspiring, and training them instead. Instruction in righteous by example, ask God to help you and them. The Holy Spirit requires co-operation, pride works through competition.
Desire that all make it, and pray for them until you see it happen. God is willing to do above and beyond what you can do or even imagine, if you ask Him. Just don’t be surprised if what He does is so big that it goes beyond your own ability to preform or fulfill it. And when that happens, and others are raised up to walk out what you prayed into being, don’t be envious or discouraged. You did what you were suppose too, now pray it through to the finish. You don’t birth a baby and then walk away from it, you keep tending to it until it’s grown and able to tend to its own. Revival is here, it’s already been born, now pray it through as it grows to do what it’s meant too. Spend more time praying for other laborers than for own purpose, and watch God entrust you with more and more as you draw closer to His heart. Then you will see your own destiny flourish. Trust me. Try it.
“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”
Philippians 2:3
“But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest “And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.” - Matthew 9:36 - 10:1
